A Modern Tea Party (No Doilies!)

Take everything you think you know about a tea party. Got it? Now, throw it all out the window (an imaginary window, of course!). With its classy chic decor and savvy tasting menu, this modern tea party from Oh Happy Day takes the traditional tea party from stuffy and boring to totally exciting.

My favorite part of this party is the collection of glass tea pots, which give a clear view to what's inside. Gone are the days of guessing what that flowery pastel tea kettle holds! The Urban Glass Pots (though stylish on their own) allow a rainbow of amber and copper tea tones to shine through, which when paired with metallic cups and saucers, makes for a tea time that will twinkle.

For one last modern touch, set up a menu sign so guests know what they are sipping. Find some in all sorts of colors and sizes at Amazon or Three Potato Four. They'll be just as charming as they are educational.
